Hello, I believe there was some discussion about this quite awhile ago. I
was wondering if there's any interest in including a protocol 'or' type
that would be the intersection of two protocols. This could be really
useful in situations where a framework that the user has no control over
implements a portion of some often used protocol. Such as specialized
collections from an Database framework that don't implement
RangeReplaceableCollection but have a set of methods that are equivalent.
The user can then implement a protocol that is the intersection of those
set of methods and not duplicate code.
Simplified example:
protocol Animal {
var hasEars: Bool { get }
func grow()
}
protocol Plant {
var isGreen: Bool { get }
func grow()
}
protocol LivingThing = Plant | Animal // or a different syntax
LivingThing's is as follows
{
func grow()
}
